#BEDM Day 8: First Job

My first job was waiting tables at the pub around the corner of my house, on the Sunday lunchtime shift. I think I'd have been about 13 when I started and it was ok. Nothing horrendous. I've worked in several bars and pubs, and even a nightclub where my shoes would stick to the floor, since. I quite like bar work, and work in general if I'm honest. I like to have some structure to my day and have always been hard-working and conscientious in any job. Also, when I was 14, the prospect of having some pocket money to spend on whichever colour Converse trainers I had my eye on to add to my collection at the time, really appealed to me!

In fact, the only bad part about any job I've had in the hospitality industry has been the dress code and I think it's one of the reasons I choose to dress in so much colour, even for work.

Caffeine-fuelled and drawn to a quirky print to add to the wardrobe zoo. Shoeaholic, dressmaker, Girlguiding volunteer and Queen's Guide. Keen reader and book reviewer. Tortoise owner. Adores dinosaurs. Probably has enough shoes to wear a different pair each day of the year.Loves writing letters and sending pretty parcels; get in touch if you'd like to swap snail-mail. <3
